Now for an Important Message

If you haven’t already noticed it appears that Facebook made a minor but significantly useful change to Facebook email notifications today. One that makes them actually useful.

In the olden times, i.e. yesterday, you would get an email notifying you that XXXXX has sent you a message. What you didn’t get was the actual message! Much to the frustration of many of us, you would have to click the link contained in the email just to read the message. Not a very big deal, but if you receive a lot of messages daily it can be rather cumbersome and irritating, especially for those unimportant messages that end up costing you twice as much time.

No Longer Fat Free

After listening to us gripe for the past year Facebook has finally put the meat back in messages. Now when someone sends you a message on Facebook and you receive the email notification it will actually contain the contents of the message. DYJSWITYS?! Yeah — that’s right. The actual message. You still have to log in to reply though. Oh and it works for Wall posts too!

This is a great enhancement for mobile users too. Now you can stay up to date with your messages via email notifications to your phone.

Thank you Facebook!
